Middle school teacher issues dire warning amid claims she was forced to hide students' gender identity

A California middle school teacher who is suing school district leaders after she was allegedly told to deceive parents about students' gender identity said her Christian faith played a role in her opposition to such policies, which she believes are teaching children to be deceptive.

"It's unfortunate that I have to go toe-to-toe and stand up against a community of people that I love," teacher Elizabeth Mirabelli told Fox News Digital. "I've been there for 25 years. This is a community of people I care about, people I've served for a long period of time. And so that gives me pause to have to stand up, but I felt that I had to make that choice."

Attorneys for Mirabelli and fellow teacher Lori Ann West, both of whom taught for decades at Rincon Middle School in Escondido, filed a federal lawsuit against the school's leadership in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California last week after the women claimed they were effectively required to lie to parents about their children if they assumed a different gender identity in school.
